Case Brief

On July 27, 2004, the Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration granted to Ashoka Safe Deposit Vault Company Limited, Nagpur, which had earlier been known as Nagpur Credit Card & Lease Investment Company.

The Reserve Bank of India cancelled the certificate of registration granted to Ashoka Safe Deposit Vault Company Limited (formerly Nagpur Credit Card & Lease Investment Company) under Section 45IA of the RBI Act, 1934. The release states that the company was registered for carrying on the business of a non-banking financial institution and, following cancellation, it cannot transact that business.

Operating Impact
